  Case: Sweet and low
Mrs. Smith has a new student added recently to her first grade classroom. This student is a very sweet student, but a very low student academically. She cannot copy onto paper from the board, cannot recognize print and needs one to one help with every assignment that is given. Mrs. Smith's school does not allow moving grades, as she has asked about possible Kindergarten placement. How can this student have a successful year in first grade?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One way that Mrs. Smith can help this student is by providing the student with individualized assignments that meet the student where she is. The teacher then needs to contact the students parents, so that collaboratively, they can work to get the student caught up. The teacher could also choose a student that is advanced, to provided peer tutoring within the classroom. Sometimes grouping the students as high with low, allows both student to reinforce content being taught.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this because the student needs to be working on these things at home as well in order to catch up with their school work and not fall constantly behind as they progress in their educational history.
